[Double-breasted coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-trenchcoat) in various color palettes and stand-up collars were some of the few pieces, which evoke subtle hints of military influences. Not afraid to use color, the designer used lots of Russian reds and military greens on a few pieces, which were mixed in with more classic and subdued color varieties. [Pin-striped suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026) were also prominent throughout the collection, which is very reminiscent of the gangster style of the 1940s and 50s. Finally, a more subtle plaid fading hombre pattern was also seen on a variety of coats.
